Boston, for example.  WGBH is barely o.k., WRCB very bland (but they are
better after midnight) Then there is WHRB which is great, uniquely so
during orgy time (otherwise known as study period.) They just finished a
Schnittke orgy, have done Schumann, have Franck, Chausson, and, finally,
Mahler scheduled, interpersed with rock, pop, jazz orgies.

An Orgy in this context is a survey of an entire output with special
attention to historical performances, etc. It is a moving experience to
contemplate the end of such a journey.
